More quotes by Aristotle
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
One kind of justice is that which is manifested in distributions of honour or money or the other things that fall to be divided among those who have a share in the constitution ... and another kind is that which plays a rectifying part in transactions.
Aristotle
In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.
Aristotle
Man by Nature desires to know.
Aristotle
By myth I mean the arrangement of the incidents
Aristotle
He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.
Aristotle
Hence both women and children must be educated with an eye to the constitution, if indeed it makes any difference to the virtue of a city-state that its children be virtuous, and its women too. And it must make a difference, since half the free population are women, and from children come those who participate in the constitution.
Aristotle
In all well-attempered governments there is nothing which should be more jealously maintained than the spirit of obedience to law, more especially in small matters for transgression creeps in unperceived and at last ruins the state, just as the constant recurrence of small expenses in time eats up a fortune.
Aristotle
A body in motion can maintain this motion only if it remains in contact with a mover.
Aristotle
Education begins at the level of the learner.
Aristotle
The souls ability to nourish itself lies in the heart.
Aristotle
Here and elsewhere we shall not obtain the best insight into things until we actually see them growing from the beginning.
Aristotle
If 'bounded by a surface' is the definition of body there cannot be an infinite body either intelligible or sensible.
Aristotle
Earthworms are the intenstines of the soil.
Aristotle
The vigorous are no better than the lazy during one half of life, for all men are alike when asleep.
Aristotle
For often, when one is asleep, there is something in consciousness which declares that what then presents itself is but a dream.
Aristotle
One has no friend who has many friends.
Aristotle
Quite often good things have hurtful consequences. There are instances of men who have been ruined by their money or killed by their courage.
Aristotle
Youth is easily deceived because it is quick to hope.
Aristotle
A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold.
Aristotle
